Never Give Up Your Dreams

  There's power in how we tend to handle rejection and interpreting what “No” means. Even in my business where let’s say 99% of the people will say no, seeing those 1% make their lives better plays a huge role in how I continue helping women in the Menopause Movement. When we have a dream or a desire that we want to get, it’s important that we take the next easiest step that is impossible to fail so we don’t give up. Then we elevate ourselves. We talk about that in today’s episode with Victoria Wieck who has built a multi-million dollar business with over $500 million in retail sales after starting her own company in 1989 on a shoestring budget to spend more time with her family.Discussion Points:[0:00] Introduction[4:48] Welcome, Victoria![9:46] How Victoria started her business[15:06] The power of grit and the interpretation of rejection[18:47] Starting a side hustle cost-free[23:45] How to make people fall in love with you and your business[26:17] Victoria and the lessons that shaped her, the business, and how it relates to menopause[30:24] How your story can reach people and shape your brand[35:44] Victoria talks about her book, The Million Dollar Hobbies[45:33] Defining your target audience[53:10] Victoria’s message to women About the Guest:Victoria Wieck is the epitome of the rags to riches American dream story.
